First and probably most important, you have to have a huge nose tackle to clog the middle, we don't have that.
Second, it would take our 2 best pass rushers (Dunlap and Atkins) and put them in spots where they aren't playing to their strengths. Atkins would have to move to 3-4 DE as would Dunlap. I don't like that move for either of them.
Third, we have no outside edge rushers worth a crap for this scheme. You would HAVE to draft Tim Williams out of Bama and probably another one in round 2.
Putting in this scheme would be total rebuild of the defense - which isn't needed. Give me Tim Williams in the draft as a SAM/Edge and you would upgrade this defense tremendously.
Yep. I actually would struggle to find a team that's personnel was a worse fit for a 3-4 than ours.
